Deadly Games

- Season 1

(1995)

A video game programmer and inventor finds a way to transfer objects from his over the top action VR game into the real world. Unfortunately, the game's villains also arrive and try to kidnap his ex wife and nuke the world.

The Level 2 villain is Lauren's Mom who has the power to freeze and her vulnerability is dirt.

Level 3 villain is Gus' first boss. His power is a super strong right arm which shoots exploding pink slips. His vulnerability is red ink.

Gus figures out how to delete all the villains. However, this just means he will have to battle the Jackal directly.

The Jackal figures out how to release himself and the villains from the computer. In a surprise move, the Jackal sends a non-villain to Gus. But he also sends Gus' childhood camp counselor, who definitely IS a villain.

Gus gets Lauren out of the computer but Camp Counselor gets out too. So now the gang must stop Camp Counselor from going to Camp David and firing a rocket at President Bill Clinton.

Danny Schlecht, a real-life practical joker, secretly adds a villain to the game based on himself. Fortunately for the gang, the Jackal disapproves of this "outside" villain.

Villain is the trash man who wouldn't let Gus search the trash for Lauren's wedding ring. Power is shooting toxic sludge. Vulnerability is any kind of cleaner. Can be killed only by being hit with a horseshoe connected to horse.
